"The Girl in the Eagle's Talons" Book Review

 

by John Zenoni


For those who are huge fans of the Millennium novels, such as I am, I can only imagine that most will agree that the latest in the series, ‘The Girl in the Eagle’s Talons’, by Karin Smirnoff, is not on the same level as the previous novels. This one was a tough read from the start, as it didn't capture you or draw you in early on as the others. Plus, honestly, it was confusing from a storyline perspective and didn't connect the dots like I would have expected and hoped. Eventually, things began to come together but this was just not as enjoyable a read as the others. And I didn't even feel like the two primary characters in the saga, Lisbeth Salander, an asocial computer hacker with a photographic memory, and Mikael Blomkvist, an investigative journalist and publisher of a magazine called Millennium, were the focus of the story. Definitely not the novel I was hoping for.
